People Died, WaPo Lied

So anyone with a pulse saw the Austin plane crash for what it was–an ugly event caused by a bitter weirdo. And nearly everyone was thankful it didn’t turn out worse.

But I guess Washington Post contributor, Jonathan Capehart, is pulse-less. After reading Joseph Stack’s suicide note, J.C. wrote, “I am struck by how his alienation is similar to that we’re hearing from the extreme elements of the Tea Party movement.”

For as most of us know: during those massive tea party protests, there were no acts of violence. As I’ve said before, people were throwing picnics, not Molotov cocktails. The same could not be said for the more romanticized WTO protestors, or the dopes in Copenhagen, who capture the imagination of tools like Capehart, because they don’t shop at Walmart.

But as the great website HotAir pointed out, in order for Capehart to link Stack to the tea parties, he had to deliberately omit key parts of the suicide note. You know, the stuff where Stack bashes Republicans, Bush, our current state of health care (which he says kills thousands), and of course, capitalism.
